“Caught between a folk
rock and a jazz place.”
And every October, that's exactly where Cork finds itself, with the
biggest music month of the year. The Cork Folk Festival starts it all off,
a-twanging and squeeze-boxing its way around the music venues of the
city. And then, the Cork Jazz Festival wraps it all up, thanks very much,
with its usual selection of jazz luminaries visiting Leeside (I say 'luminaries',
to be honest, I've not heard of most of them, but then I've not remembered
the name of a band or musician since the early 90s!). The 'Jazz' aspect is
indicative however, as there will be 'crossover' artistes in town also. It's all
a rich tapestry of titles too. The Jazz people have their bands with names
ending in either 'Sensation', 'Experience', Odyssey', Quartet/Quintet/or
Dodecatet. The Folkies just like to list every person playing something on
stage, preferably as Gaeilge. Many of our lovely advertisers are getting into
the spirit of things, hosting gigs and sessions and whatever you're having
yourself, vicar. We urge you to check our music listings before planning
your night out, make a voyage of it and hit as many venues as is humanly
possible. Support your local venues, who are there for you, literally they’re
there.
It's also Halloween in October, New Years Eve for all you pagans out there,
and The Nightmare Realm's Hostel is the place for you fright fans to get
your 'yikes' on. Every night from September 30th to November 5th gives
you plenty of time to have your wits swiftly evacuated from your body.
Taste Cork Week (Oct 10-16) offers a cornucopia of foodie-orientated
delights. Tuck in, you won't be disappointed. Our cover star is Cork's own
little Oktoberfest (or Oktoberfest Beag if we're being all Irish about it).
Running from October 6th to 15th in Docklands, bring your taste-buds, your
best Bavarian attitude, and prepare for a fine 'stein' time. If you're around
town from October 7-9 (or any other time for that matter), and you're
thinking Cork is a pretty great place to be, day and night, then you won't be
surprised that Cork has renewed its Purple Flag City status. Brings a tear
to the eye, it does. In broadly the same vein, Urban October, promotes in
much the same way as WhazOn consistantly does what is 'grand' about the
city in October. And finally, IndieCork (Oct 9-16) continues to grow as great
little festival celebrating the best of independent film and music.
Yes, indeed, October is a big month in Cork. Enjoy it to its absolute fullest
with WhazOn at your side!
